        Basically this song is made up of  5 chords

Tune down half step


Intro : D  A  Bm  G X 4


Verse 1:

    D                   A               Bm       G
We wrote a prelude To our own fairy tale


        D                       A               Bm                 Em
And bought a parachute At a church rummage sale
 

         D                              A                   Bm            G
And with a mean sewing machine And miles of thread

                     D                   A            Bm        Em    
We sewed the day above L.A.    In navy and red

   D                        A                                     Bm               G
We wound a race track Through your mom's kitchen chairs
    
        D                              A                        Bm                   Em
And fought the shadows back Down your dark basement stairs


            D                      A              Bm              G
I lit a match, then let it catch To light up the room

    D                                    A                 Bm        Em                 D        
And then you yelled as we beheld An old maroon hot air balloon



Chorus:

      D                    A
I'll be out of my mind

       Bm                                 G
And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon

      D         A            Bm                         G                       
So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

       D                          A
Leave your jacket behind

      Bm                                  G
Lean out and touch the treetops over town

    D               A                       Bm                     Em                D
I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down


SOLO 1 :  D  A  Bm  G x 4


Verse 2

     D                          A             Bm               G
We drank the Great Lakes Like cold lemonade

        D                          A                   Bm                Em
And both got stomach aches Sprawled out in the shade

            D                           A                       Bm                   G
So bored to death you held your breath And I tried not to yawn\

       D                                A                                     Bm                Em
You made my frown turn upside down And now my worries are gone


Chorus again:

I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon
So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down



Solo 2 : D  A  Bm  G x 4

Chorus till the end
I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon
So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down 


Outro : D  A  Bm  G  
            D  A  Bm  Em
